Description
La présente invention se rapporte à un procédé de sécurisation d'une grue à flèche relevable, et en particulier d'une grue à tour flèche relevable, ainsi qu'à une grue à flèche relevable adaptée pour un tel procédé de sécurisation.The present invention relates to a method for securing a luffing jib crane, and in particular a luffing jib crane, and a luffing jib crane adapted for such a securing method.
Elle se rapporte plus particulièrement au domaine des grues à flèche relevable équipées d'un treuil de relevage intégrant un moteur de relevage couplé à au moins un câble de relevage pour l'entraînement de la flèche en relevage ou en affalement, telles que notamment connues des documents
L'invention s'intéresse à la sécurisation d'une grue à flèche relevable dans le cas d'un dysfonctionnement, notamment d'une défaillance au niveau du treuil de relevage, d'une condition météorologique défavorable, d'une collision ou d'une fausse manoeuvre qui conduit :
- lors d'un affalement (ou abaissement) de la flèche, à avoir la flèche qui reste temporairement bloquée ou qui est suffisamment ralentie dans son affalement pour que le câble de relevage se détende jusqu'à générer un risque de rattrapage plus ou moins soudain du mou de câble ;
- lors d'un relevage de la flèche, à avoir la flèche qui est accélérée dans son relevage (en particulier sous l'impulsion d'un vent qui pousse la flèche vers le haut) pour que le câble de relevage se détende jusqu'à générer également un risque de rattrapage plus ou moins soudain du mou de câble.
- during a lowering (or lowering) of the boom, to have the boom which remains temporarily blocked or which is slowed sufficiently in its affalement so that the lifting cable relaxes until generating a risk of more or less sudden catching of the soft cable;
- when raising the boom, to have the arrow that is accelerated in its lift (especially under the impulse of a wind that pushes the arrow upwards) so that the lifting cable relaxes to generate also a risk of catching more or less suddenly slack cable.
Suivant la violence de ce rattrapage, la flèche peut potentiellement basculer avec assez de force pour endommager la grue, voire conduire à la rupture du câble de relevage. Autrement dit, de tels déplacements intempestifs constituent des mouvements dangereux de la flèche, sources d'à-coups dynamiques ou de ruptures brusques dans le mouvement de la flèche en relevage ou en affalement.Depending on the violence of this retrofit, the boom can potentially rock with enough force to damage the crane, or even lead to breakage of the lifting cable. In other words, such inadvertent movements constitute dangerous movements of the arrow, sources of dynamic jolts or abrupt breaks in the movement of the boom lifting or in affalement.
Actuellement, seule une intervention manuelle du conducteur de la grue peut arrêter le mouvement de la flèche et ainsi éviter la prise de mou dans le câble de relevage, ce qui demande une attention continue de la part du conducteur lors de la conduite de la grue à tour dans ses phases de relevage et d'affalement.Currently, only a manual intervention of the crane driver can stop the movement of the boom and thus avoid slack in the lifting cable, which requires continuous attention from the driver when driving the crane to turn in its phases of lifting and affalement.
L'invention se propose d'apporter une solution pour la sécurisation d'une grue à flèche qui soit automatisée et qui garantisse un arrêt du mouvement de relevage ou d'affalement lorsque la vitesse réelle de la flèche s'écarte de la vitesse souhaitée par le conducteur.The invention proposes to provide a solution for securing an automated boom crane which guarantees a stop of the lifting or spreading movement when the actual speed of the boom deviates from the desired speed by the driver.
A cet effet, elle propose un procédé de sécurisation d'une grue à flèche relevable, comprenant les étapes suivantes :
- acquisition d'une consigne de relevage/affalement de la flèche au moyen d'un manipulateur de commande de vitesse de relevage ;
- pilotage d'un moteur de relevage d'un treuil de relevage par un variateur qui applique audit moteur de relevage une vitesse de commande moteur en fonction de la consigne de relevage/affalement ;
- entraînement de la flèche en relevage ou en affalement par au moins un câble de relevage du treuil de relevage sous l'action du moteur de relevage appliquant la vitesse de commande moteur issue du variateur ;
- acquisition par un système de contrôle/commande de la vitesse de commande moteur ou de la consigne de relevage/affalement ;
- calcul par le système de contrôle/commande d'une vitesse angulaire théorique de relevage/affalement de la flèche à partir de la vitesse de commande moteur ou de la consigne de relevage/affalement ;
- acquisition par le système de contrôle/commande d'un angle de flèche mesuré par un capteur d'angle ;
- calcul par le système de contrôle/commande d'une vitesse angulaire réelle de relevage/affalement de la flèche à partir de l'angle de flèche mesuré ;
- comparaison par le système de contrôle/commande entre la vitesse angulaire réelle de relevage/affalement de la flèche et la vitesse angulaire théorique de relevage/affalement de la flèche ;
- commande d'arrêt du moteur de relevage par le système de contrôle/commande en fonction du résultat de la comparaison entre la vitesse angulaire réelle de relevage/affalement de la flèche et la vitesse angulaire théorique de relevage/affalement de la flèche.
- acquiring a lift / boom deflection instruction by means of a lift speed control manipulator;
- controlling a lifting motor of a lifting winch by a variator which applies to said tilt motor an engine control speed according to the tilt / luffing setpoint;
- driving the boom up or down by at least one lifting cable of the lifting winch under the action of the tilt motor applying the engine control speed from the drive;
- acquisition by a control / command system of the engine control speed or of the lifting / lowering setpoint;
- calculation by the control / command system of a theoretical angular speed of lifting / deflection of the boom from the engine control speed or the lifting / lowering setpoint;
- acquisition by the control / command system of an angle of deflection measured by an angle sensor;
- calculation by the control / command system of a real angular speed of lifting / deflection of the arrow from the measured deflection angle;
- comparison by the control / command system between the actual angular speed of lifting / deflection of the boom and the theoretical angular speed of lifting / spreading of the boom;
- control of stopping of the lifting motor by the control / control system according to the result of the comparison between the actual angular speed of lifting / deflection of the boom and the theoretical angular speed of lifting / spreading of the boom.
Ainsi, ce procédé de sécurisation permet de détecter automatiquement :
- la cohérence de la vitesse angulaire réelle de relevage/affalement de la flèche par rapport à la vitesse angulaire théorique de relevage/affalement de la flèche qui correspond à la vitesse souhaitée par le conducteur qui agit sur le manipulateur de commande de vitesse de relevage ; et
- toute incohérence entre la vitesse angulaire réelle de relevage/affalement de la flèche et la vitesse angulaire théorique de relevage/affalement, afin de se prémunir de tous les déplacements de la flèche non désirés et susceptibles de conduire à des conséquences néfastes pour la grue.
- the consistency of the actual angular speed of lifting / deflection of the boom with respect to the theoretical angular speed of lifting / deflection of the boom which corresponds to the speed desired by the driver acting on the lift speed control manipulator; and
- any inconsistency between the actual angular speed of raising / lowering of the boom and the theoretical angular speed of lifting / affalement, in order to guard against all the unwanted movements of the boom and likely to lead to adverse consequences for the crane.
Ce procédé permet donc de surveiller que la flèche reste bien immobile lorsque le conducteur n'ordonne pas de mouvement de relevage ou d'affalement, au moyen d'un contrôle automatique de cohérence entre la commande souhaitée par le conducteur et le mouvement réel de la flèche, ce qui permet de s'affranchir de la réaction de conducteur. La détection d'un risque de rupture ou d'à-coup dans le mouvement de la flèche est donc plus systématique et plus sécuritaire.This method therefore makes it possible to monitor that the boom remains immobile when the driver does not order a lifting or spreading movement, by means of an automatic control of coherence between the command desired by the driver and the actual movement of the arrow, which makes it possible to get rid of the driver reaction. The detection of a risk of breakage or jerk in the movement of the boom is therefore more systematic and safer.
Il permet également de détecter les déplacements non désirés de la flèche qui peuvent avoir plusieurs origines comme par exemple une défaillance d'un accouplement ou d'un réducteur de vitesse sur le treuil de relevage, une collision de la flèche occasionnant un ralentissement ou un arrêt en cours de mouvement, un blocage du câble de relevage de la flèche, un blocage de poulies situées sur le chemin du câble de relevage et qui empêcherait de dévider trop de câble de relevage, autrement dit toute perturbation (interne ou externe) qui interviendrait dans la chaine cinématique, sur la ligne du câble de relevage ou qui agirait directement sur le mouvement de la flèche.It also detects unwanted boom movements that may have several causes, such as a coupling or speed reducer failure on the lift winch, an arrow collision causing a slowdown or a stop. during movement, a lock of the boom lifting cable, a blocking of pulleys located in the path of the lifting cable and which would prevent unwinding too much lifting cable, ie any disturbance (internal or external) that would occur in the kinematic chain, on the line of the lifting cable or which would act directly on the movement of the arrow.
De manière plus large, ce procédé permet de répondre à une exigence essentielle de sécurité qui est d'imposer un arrêt du moteur de relevage, et donc un arrêt du mouvement de relevage ou d'affalement, lorsque la vitesse réelle de la flèche s'écarte de la vitesse souhaitée par le conducteur d'un écart prédéfini, comme par un exemple un écartement de l'ordre de 10%.In a broader manner, this method makes it possible to meet an essential safety requirement which is to impose a stopping of the tilt motor, and therefore a stop of the lifting or spreading movement, when the actual speed of the arrow s' deviates from the desired speed by the driver of a predefined deviation, as for example a spacing of the order of 10%.
Avec un tel procédé, en comparant la vitesse souhaitée par le conducteur (à savoir la vitesse angulaire théorique de relevage/affalement de la flèche) et la vitesse réelle appliquée à la flèche (à savoir la vitesse angulaire réelle de relevage/affalement de la flèche), il est ainsi mis en oeuvre une vérification de l'ensemble contrôle/commande, variateur et chaîne cinématique qui va au-delà d'une simple surveillance sur le treuil de relevage.With such a method, comparing the desired speed by the driver (i.e. the theoretical angular speed of raising / lowering of the boom) and the actual speed applied to the boom (namely the actual angular speed of lifting / deflection of the boom ), it is thus implemented a verification of the control / command, drive and drive train assembly that goes beyond a simple monitoring on the lifting winch.
Selon une caractéristique, le système de contrôle/commande émet une commande d'arrêt du moteur de relevage lorsque la différence entre la vitesse angulaire réelle de relevage/affalement de la flèche et la vitesse angulaire théorique de relevage/affalement de la flèche est supérieure à un seuil prédéfini.According to one characteristic, the control / command system issues a stop command of the tilt motor when the difference between the actual angular speed of raising / lowering of the boom and the theoretical angular speed of raising / lowering of the boom is greater than a predefined threshold.
Un tel seuil peut être adapté pour répondre par exemple à une norme ou à une directive en matière de sécurité dans le domaine des grues à flèche relevable.Such a threshold may be adapted to meet, for example, a safety standard or directive in the field of luffing jib cranes.
Selon une autre caractéristique, le système de contrôle/commande émet une commande d'arrêt du moteur de relevage lorsque la différence entre la vitesse angulaire réelle de relevage/affalement de la flèche et la vitesse angulaire théorique de relevage/affalement de la flèche est supérieure à un seuil prédéfini pendant un intervalle de temps prédéfini.According to another characteristic, the control / command system issues a stop command of the tilt motor when the difference between the actual angular speed of raising / lowering of the boom and the theoretical angular speed of raising / lowering of the boom is greater than at a predefined threshold for a predefined time interval.
Dans une réalisation particulière, le système de contrôle/commande calcule la vitesse angulaire théorique de relevage/affalement de la flèche à partir, d'une part, de la vitesse de commande moteur ou de la consigne de relevage/affalement et, d'autre part, d'un modèle cinématique de relevage/affalement de la flèche.In a particular embodiment, the control / command system calculates the theoretical angular speed of raising / lowering of the boom from, on the one hand, the engine control speed or the lifting / lowering setpoint, and on the other hand on the other hand, a kinematic model for raising / lowering the boom.
Selon une possibilité de l'invention, le modèle cinématique de relevage/affalement de la flèche est préétabli en fonction de la structure et des dimensions de la flèche et du treuil de relevage.According to a possibility of the invention, the kinematic model of raising / lowering of the boom is pre-established according to the structure and the dimensions of the boom and the lifting winch.
Ainsi, le procédé peut être mis en oeuvre pour différentes grues, et notamment pour différentes tailles de grue ou différents mécanismes dans le treuil de relevage ou différents mécanismes de renvoi dans le câble de relevage, en adaptant le modèle cinématique à chacune des grues.Thus, the method can be implemented for different cranes, and in particular for different sizes of crane or different mechanisms in the lifting winch or various return mechanisms in the lifting cable, adapting the kinematic model to each of the cranes.
Selon une autre possibilité de l'invention, le procédé est mis en oeuvre dans une grue à tour à flèche relevable.According to another possibility of the invention, the method is implemented in a luffing tower tower crane.
